SOUTHFIELD, Mich., June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts offer much more than organized family activities with Yogi Bear, Boo Boo, and Cindy Bear and some of the best water attractions in the campground industry.
They also feature an ever-expanding array of family glamping units from beautifully appointed cabins to covered wagons, yurts, safari tents, treehouses, and other unique accommodations.'We offer everything from small cabins to huge bunkhouses and lodges that are popular for family reunions, weddings, anniversaries, and other special celebrations,' said Trent Hershenson, vice president of marketing for Camp Jellystone, the Southfield, Michigan-based company that franchises Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts across the United States and Canada.
With more than 75 franchised locations, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts operates in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences.
The Jellystone Park location in Glen, N.H., complements its cabin lineup with cozy glamping pods that sleep up to four as well as its unique Bear-A-Dise Bungalows, tiny home-type cabins that sleep two adults.
The Jellystone Park location in Carver, Mass., complements its standard cabin lineup with miniature Bear Cub Glamping Pods that look like tiny cabins while the location in Tabor City, N.C., offers glamping options that include both cabins and yurts.
Meanwhile, the Jellystone Park location near Dallas in Burleson, Texas complements its one- and two-bedroom cabins with furnished glamping tipis, covered wagons, and repurposed grain silos.
The furnished tipis, which sleep up to 7, include a plush king-size bed, a set of queen/twin bunk beds, a futon, as well as heating and air-conditioning. The tipis come equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, and a dinette set as well as private grill and picnic table.

The downstairs area has a full kitchen with plenty of room for preparing meals as well as a full bathroom.

Meanwhile, the Jellystone Park location in Larkspur, Colo., complements offer elite cabins with hot tubs while the Jellystone Park in Mill Run, Penn., has two-story treehouses that look like something out of a children's storybook.

3 new flights take off from Memphis airport in September: Here is where they'll take you
A new month will bring new flights to Memphis International Airport. New routes to Knoxville, New York City and Pensacola, Florida, will launch in September at the airport. The three new flights are expected to bring a boost in passenger numbers to the airport, which has seen a bit of a slowdown, according to Glen Thomas, communications director for the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority. 'Thus far in August, our TSA checkpoint numbers reflect a slight decrease of about 2.5% compared to the same period in 2024,' Thomas said. 'These numbers are reflective of a softening in recent demand across the industry and across all major airlines. Nonetheless, we continue to meet with airlines in our continual effort to secure additional air service and maintain existing service.' So far in 2025, Memphis International Airport has announced plans for 10 new flights. Here is a closer look at the new routes coming to the airport in September. Allegiant Air's Memphis-to-Knoxville flight Memphis residents traveling to Knoxville soon will have a new way to get there. Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air's service between Memphis International and McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville starts Sept. 4. The flight from the low-cost air carrier is expected to be a convenient option for University of Tennessee students and alumni in Memphis as it provides an alternative to driving. Kristen Schilling Gonzales, Allegiant's vice president of planning and revenue, told The Commercial Appeal in June that the hope is the Knoxville route will be a reoccurring flight. 'Right now, the service is going through the college football season,' she said. '... We're hopeful that as we see some pickup in the demand, then we'll look at increase frequency on the new route (Knoxville) or with other existing routes we have (at MEM)." MEMPHIS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: What are Memphis airport's top unserved destinations? 10 cities without nonstop flights — yet Allegiant's Memphis-to-Knoxville flight schedule *Schedule is subject to change; flights operate on Sunday and Thursday Memphis to Knoxville Departs: 8:49 p.m. CST Arrives: 11:08 p.m. EST Knoxville to Memphis Departs: 7:35 p.m. EST Arrives: 7:59 p.m. CST NEW FLIGHTS FROM MEMPHIS: How many new flights is Memphis airport offering in 2025? Here's a rundown of 10 (so far) Breeze Airways' Memphis-to-Pensacola flight Utah-based, low-cost airline Breeze Airways plans to launch nonstop service between Memphis International Airport and Pensacola International Airport (PNS) on Sept. 5. In May, Breeze Airways — which became the 10th airline to fly out of Memphis International — launched nonstop routes from Memphis to Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) and Tampa International Airport (TPA), as well as a one-stop flight from Memphis to (Providence) Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport (PVD). Breeze Airways' Memphis-to-Pensacola flight schedule *Schedule is subject to change; flights operate on Monday and Friday Memphis to Pensacola Departs: 5:48 p.m. CST Arrives: 7:14 p.m. EST Pensacola to Memphis Departs: 3:35 p.m. EST Arrives: 5:08 p.m. CST Delta's Memphis-to-New York City (JFK) flight People traveling out of the Bluff City will soon have a new way to get to the Big Apple. Delta Air Lines will begin daily nonstop service between Memphis International and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City on Sept. 8. The New York City market is the Memphis airport's second largest, with 352 passengers traveling daily each way between the two cities, according to airport officials. However, the JFK-MEM route won't be year-round. Alex Koehlke of Delta's global communications team told The Commercial Appeal in July that the flight will operate from Sept. 8 through Jan. 4. At that point, the route will pause for winter and resume on May 7, 2026. Koehlke said Delta routinely adjusts its schedule throughout the year to best serve customer demand. In the winter, Koehlke noted demand may be lower, which leads to the temporary pause in service of select markets. Delta's Memphis-to-New York City flight schedule *Schedule is subject to change; flights will operate daily Memphis to JFK Departs: 4:35 p.m. CST Arrives: 8:15 p.m. EST JFK to Memphis Departs: 2 p.m. EST Arrives: 3:55 p.m. CST Corey Davis is the Collierville and Germantown reporter with The Commercial Appeal.

Air Canada to gradually resume flights after reaching settlement with union
After multiple days of canceled flights, delaying and derailing thousands of passengers' travel plans, the Air Canada flight attendant strike is officially over. Canada's largest airline announced it will "gradually restart its operations" on Tuesday "after reaching a mediated agreement with the Canadian Union of Public Employees through a process overseen by a mutually agreed-to mediator." Some 10,000 flight attendants refused to return to work despite a government order on Sunday, amid a dispute with Air Canada over wages and unpaid labor. The Air Canada Component of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, or CUPE, says the carrier's wages are below inflation, market value, and the federal minimum wage and has asked that flight attendants be paid for groundwork, which includes labor performed prior to takeoff and after landing. The airline said Tuesday it participated in the mediation discussions "on the basis that the union commit to have the airline's 10,000 flight attendants immediately return to work" to allow the carrier to resume Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge operations that had been grounded since Saturday. "The suspension of our service is extremely difficult for our customers. We deeply regret and apologize for the impact on them of this labour disruption. Our priority now is to get them moving as quickly as possible," Michael Rousseau, Air Canada's president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. The "complex undertaking" to full restoration, as Rousseau referred to it, could take up to a week or longer. The first flights are scheduled for Tuesday evening, and Air Canada has advised customers that full, regular service could be seven to 10 days out as the fleet of aircraft and its crews get in position. "During this process, some flights will be cancelled over the next seven to ten days until the schedule is stabilized," Tuesday's announcement stated. Air Canada was forced to cancel hundreds of flights as a result of the work stoppage and and said nearly 500,000 customers were impacted in Canada and the U.S. United, the American-based partner for Air Canada, told ABC News in a statement that very few United customers were affected.

CLEAR to Launch eGate Pilot Program at Select U.S. Airports Ahead of FIFA World Cup 2026
Public-private partnership aims to drive faster, more secure travel at host city airports across the country at no cost to taxpayers NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CLEAR (NYSE: YOU), the secure identity company, today announced the launch of biometric eGates to help modernize America's airports ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 games. CLEAR is investing to improve security and the traveler experience at no cost to taxpayers. Automated eGates are designed to provide a scalable, secure solution to expedite the passenger experience and enhance security. The innovation builds on the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) efforts to modernize and streamline U.S. airport security checkpoints, with a specific focus on enhancing security, hospitality, and the passenger experience. This first of its kind pilot represents an innovative public–private partnership that enables TSA to scale identity verification and streamline airport processing just in time for the World Cup. With more than 20 million international visitors expected to fly to the U.S. for the tournament — and domestic travel surging through U.S. host cities — checkpoint infrastructure will face unprecedented pressure. As part of this strategic partnership, CLEAR is investing to improve security and the traveler experience at no cost to taxpayers. Starting in August 2025, these eGates will debut at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA), and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA), with CLEAR planning to expand the eGate implementation across its nationwide network of airports in preparation for the World Cup, America's 250th anniversary celebration, and continuing growth in domestic air travel. 'We are proud to help make America's airports great ahead of the World Cup. The U.S. should be leading on security, hospitality, and the travel experience,' said CLEAR CEO Caryn Seidman Becker. 'This partnership with TSA is a powerful example of how public and private sectors can work together to enhance security and improve the aviation ecosystem. CLEAR is investing in this technology at no cost to taxpayers to modernize our checkpoints and ensure America's airports are ready to meet global expectations. CLEAR's secure identity platform will help unlock a better, safer, and more frictionless experience for all travelers.' CLEAR's eGates are designed to conduct real-time biometric verification, matching a traveler's facial image with their identity document and boarding pass. TSA retains complete operational control: triggering gate access, conducting security vetting, and enforcing government security requirements. CLEAR transmits only limited data (live photo, boarding pass, ID photo used for enrollment and identity information)--it has no access to watchlists, cannot override TSA gate decisions, and does not manually open gates. Once identity and clearance are confirmed, passengers proceed directly to physical screening, bypassing the TSA podium while still undergoing all security screening. About CLEARCLEAR's mission is to strengthen security and create frictionless experiences. With over 33 million Members and a growing network of partners across the world, CLEAR's secure identity platform is transforming the way people live, work, and travel. Whether you are traveling, at the stadium, or on your phone, CLEAR connects you to the things that make you, you—making everyday experiences easier, more secure, and friction-free. CLEAR is committed to privacy done right. Members are always in control of their own information, and we never sell Member data.
